AspectJ tools most notably contains the AspectJ compiler (AJC). AJC applies aspects to Java classes during
compilation, fully replacing Javac for plain Java classes and also compiling native AspectJ or annotation-based
@AspectJ syntax. Furthermore, AJC can weave aspects into existing class files in a post-compile binary weaving step.
This library is a superset of AspectJ weaver and hence also of AspectJ runtime.
